| The
impact that subseismic scale structures can have on well performance
is increasingly being recognised, as well as needs to incorporate
their effects into reservoir models and simulators.
The foreshore at Lossiemouth,
on the NE coast of Scotland, provides an excellent location
for examining in the field small scale structures in a sandstone
reservoir analogue. In particular, the architecture and distribution
of structures within the damage zone around a seismic scale
fault system can be studied.
The course addresses:
- fault damage zone structures:
primarily granulation seams and their properities
- damage zone architecture
and methods of quantifying and predicting small scale reservoir
damage
- implications for fault seal,
reservoir permeability reduction and well planning
- compartmentalisation at
a number of scales up to simulator grid block dimensions
- modelling damage zones and
permeability reduction upscaling for reservoir models
This course is excellent for
geologists, geophysicists and reservoir engineers, and is
particularly suitable for groups such as asset teams
